Turn it Around

I try to turn bad things into good things. That is my daily challenge in life. I try to think of my caterpillar self aiming for butterfly status.

When I became depressed about the election I shut off all radios and web sites and read poetry.

Thank you Mr. T I am much more well-read now.

When my family rejected me I ran away and got a job. I learned how to cook and subsequently feed myself. I learned how to sew. I bicycled everywhere. I bought my own home. I read a lot and went to the library daily. I got involved with my city neighborhood and government.

I discovered most people are a lot nicer than my parents.
